INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
AND USER MANUAL

Product description and intended use

Sensor types W-63 (resistance, RTD) and 2xW-63 (2xresistance, 2xRTD) are temperature sensors with cable, specially constructed for applications in autoclaves.
Sensors are intended for various industrial measuring applications in autoclaves, sterilization devices, steam chambers, and in manufacturing industry. Sensors are meant to be immersed to process to be measured. The construction and materials are especially suitable for these use cases.
Sensors with cable are used in applications, where wiring connection point must be further away from the measuring point, or where there is no room for traditional sensor connection head. Another reason for choosing the cable structure is possibility to easily move the sensor from measuring point to another.
Measuring elements are RTD elements, standard versions are 4-wire Pt100 (for W-63), or 2x 3-wire Pt100 (for 2xW-63).
Sensor element protection tube material can be chosen, and element / cable length can be produced according to customer needs. Standard protection tube is AISI 316 / 316L with surface roughness Ra = 0,6 µm. Sensors are available with special cable with free wire ends, or with connector, according to customer order. Standard cable type is EMI shielded and has a medical grade silicone sheath.
Please note, that protection tube and cable diameter dimensions must have a specific match with each other, to provide tightness needed. Thus, all combinations are not possible.
Both standard and tailored versions are produced on request.
EPIC® SENSORS temperature sensors are measuring devices intended for professional use. They should be mounted by professionally capable installer who understands the installations surroundings. The worker should understand mechanical and electrical needs and safety instructions of the object installation. Suitable safety gear for each installation task must be used.

Temperatures, measuring

Allowed measuring temperature range for sensor tip is:

  • -60…+180 °C With Pt100, for standard sensor element and cable materials.

Temperatures, ambient

Allowed maximum ambient temperature for wires or cable, for the standard cable type, is:

  • Max. +180 °C…….. FDS = FEP wire insulation/braid shield/silicone jacket.

Allowed maximum ambient temperature for standard shrink tube at cable connection end is:

  • Max. +125 °C…………………… Irradiated Modified Polyolefin

Make sure the process temperature is not too much for the cable or shrink tube.

Installation instructions

Before any installation, make sure the target process/machinery and site are safe to work!
Make sure the cable type matches the temperature and chemical requirements of the site.
Installation phases:

  • Never bend the measuring element.
  • Insert the measuring element into atmosphere/medium to be measured.
  • Mount the sensor securely with application-specific mounting accessories.
  • Make sure there is no excess bending force loading the cable.
  • Mount extra strain relief for cable, if necessary.

Tightening torques

Use only tightening torques allowed in applicable standards of each thread size and material.

Pt100; connection wiring

Image below: These are the connection colors of Pt100 resistor connections, according to standard EN 60751.LAPP AUTOMAATIO 2XW-63 Temperature Sensor for
Autoclaves - fig 3

Other connections on request.

Pt100; measuring current

The highest allowed measuring current for Pt100 measuring resistors depends on resistor type and brand.
Normally the recommended maximum values are:

• Pt100 1 mA
• Pt500 0,5 mA
• Pt1000 0,3 mA.

Do not use higher measuring current. It will lead to false measurement values and might even destroy the resistor.

Type label of standard versions

Each sensor has a type label attached to. It is a moisture and wear proof industrial grade sticker, with black text on white label. This label has printed information as presented below.

Serial number information

Serial number S/N is always printed on type label in the following form: yymmdd-xxxxxxx-x:

  • yymmdd…………… production date, e.g. “210131” = 31.1.2021
  • -xxxxxxx………….. production order, e.g. “1234567”
  • -x……………….sequential ID number within this production order, e.g. “1”
